Different zoner factions in the Omicrons.
Coordiales saludos,
I am Francisco Javier de Creta, leader of the Deterrence.
I would like to establish a formal communication with all the zoners in the omicrons regarding the smoke of war.
Zoners from different factions, I know those are times of chaos and insecurity, but fear nothing from our side. For decades we have been good neighbors, providing each other with supplies the omicrons rarely had available, and defending you from those nomads who terrorize our lives, day a day. We had ups and down, and we had troubles for sure.
Yes, we took Freeport 9, and some died, mostly outcasts and bounty hunters who were there hidden by some Zoners, who also defend them. Amigos, this is an act of treason on our eyes, the bounty hunters there were the ones who killed our beloved Eldar's son, and they deserved an endless torture as a finale to they'r lifes. Your hermanos, as you call them, are safe, we feed them, we let them roam the station, meanwhile they work under our directives. Some, even, asked us to release part of them, and in an act of good faith, we did it.
We are not monsters, we are the corsair imperio, sons of Crete us all, and we will punish anyone who dares to challenge us and help our enemigos. As well as we will reward our amigos who will voluntarily help our cause, and share they'r resources.
As you may know, Outcasts want to bring war to Omicron Tetha, and the system will become a war zone soon. We offer you the chance to help us stockpile resources and reinforce our positions, in exchange of a seat in the negotiation tables. Remember that if outcasts, under any circumstance, could win this. You will most probably end as slaves for them or worst.
I want to send you a proper offer of negotiations, a chance for victory to us all, and answers to all your questions.

Listen here, Corsair scumbag.
We, as Zoners, have no idea how brainless pieces of Arrogant maggots captured a Freeport and offers to help you, instead of arming Outcast and beat the shit out your tiny Brains.
Unfortunately for you, Zoners will not tollerate your expansion and Capturing Freeport Nine, so hear this answer as a Negative. Prepare to evacuate personal, because we are coming to you!

Senor de Creta,
I have already been in touch with the Deterrence in previous transmissions so I do not feel we need to speak much more on it. We know that a Med Force medical crew is on station as a necessity as they have been deemed essential. The other day, one of my Med Force ships was granted permission to dock on station to check on them so it would seem their well being is being taken care of.
You asked for help. That medical crew is the best help we have to offer. So long as they are not harmed in any way, you will have no problems from us. As it stands, we have been allowed to transit Omicron Gamma freely which helps us travelling to and from Omicron Delta. Considering the outrage I here from my Zoner colleagues, I do not dare do more.
Respectfully,
Dr. John Henry Holliday

You're hilarious, freak. Should I remind you that your glorious Imperio enjoyed the leniency of docking permission, as did everyone else? That's the point of the Freeports - come as you may, and keep your grudges out of the station. But you and some others seem to just not get nor appreciate the concept, and Corsairs will ever be notorious for being the first to break the status quo.
Don't make me come all the way up there to break some skulls of your buddies.
For free Erie.
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
Jerard Voncloud, I speak on Behalf of Pygar and Corfu.
I already reached out to you and yours previously.
There is nothing left to say, nor negotiations to make. You made your stance on my "Lifeless Rock" clear. The opinion of Zoner's was made very Clear.
Mr. Francisco Javier of Crete, I don't know if you are the one who underestimates our intelligence, or if I have overestimated yours all this time.
Even though we the Omicron Theta Zoners have historically been friendly to the Corsair Empire and have provided you with food, you decided come to our house, take Freeport 9 from us by force, and kill and kidnap our people. For a long time you roam freely throughout the system, harassing and extorting everyone who lives or passes through here, and your occupying forces insult and threaten our brothers. And now that things are starting to get bad for you, are you coming to ask us to support you so you don't lose what you stole from us?
Why should we even look at your faces? Oh wait, you offer us in exchange "a seat at the negotiation table". From the zoner side we have tried to negotiate in good faith with you from the beginning, and your response has always been to laugh at us. You were too arrogant to negotiate when you thought that your mere military force was enough to obtain everything you wanted, but now that you are not so clear, you come to ask us for support by offering to "negotiate." And what were we going to negotiate if all this ended with your victory? Would you magnanimously offer us the honor of choosing between accepting all your conditions, or dying?
Honestly, you have to have very little shame, very little self-respect, and a total lack of empathy, to lower yourself asking your own victims for help, to maintain control over what you stole from us with blood and fire. You brought war and oppression to Theta, and from us you can expect the same thing that you gave us, no more and no less.
We appreciated the history of mutually beneficial relationships between Phoenix and the Corsairs. But at the same time, I want to express my concerns about further cooperation between our groups.
The events that occurred with Freeport 9 caused our extreme apprehension in building further mutually beneficial relationships; especially given the path you chose to enslave the station, destroy the resistance and hold hostages. While we understand your concerns about the Outcasts, Freeport 9 is of no strategic importance to either side. We, in good conscience cannot agree with the extreme measures you have taken against our friends and brothers aboard Freeport 9. Furthermore, we cannot support a path that will entail escalating conflict in Omicron Theta between different groups.
If you have alternative ways to resolve the conflict situation do not go against our values, we are willing to discuss it. However, at this time, we see no reason to support the Corsair Empire after the massacre you have caused on our station.
